The Distinctively Diva Dish

Little Things Make Me Happy

My intention tonight was to write about this little beauty product that has made me so happy, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. Tonight I am surrounded by the wonder and a pallet of gifts for the guests of our Happiness Parties, coming in October from Wrapmaster. http://www.wrapmasterusa.com

 

First of all, Thank You Wrapmaster, not only is your product cool, it does solve a problem with that nasty plastic wrap getting all tangled up when I’m trying to cover a dish. Thank you for your generosity to our Everyday Divas, women who are just like your mothers, sisters, daughters, grandmothers, who just want to cover their famous Deviled Eggs for the party without that crazy plastic wrap having a temper tantrum. We’ll be smiling all the way to the party thanks to your gifts.

 If you can’t make or host a happiness party, no worries, we’ll be holding a virtual happiness party right here on October 1, 2008, the birthday for the little book that could, The Daily Diva Word, www.thedailydivaword.com with prizes and gifts to give.

To get us started on the road to happiness, leave a comment on something that makes you happy and those that post may just find a wrapmaster on the way to their kitchen.

Diva, Diva where do you hide?

To begin our new adventure, I'm going to introduce you to some women who have allot to offer. On one of these incredible blogs, you'll find some great information to enhance your life. You'll want to bookmark their pages for those days you might want a little inspiration.

I've also changed the gifting rules. Everyone who searches for the Diva and comes back to report the Diva Siting and leaves a happy comment will receive a Diva Gift from me. The first of course, will get the pillow in my last post.

In our Find the Diva quest, I hope you are finding your inner Diva too! Share with us in the comments section what makes you happy. We can all use some inspiration.

All the best,
Maureen

Local Girl Makes Good: Now Its Your Turn

Hermosa Beach, CA  For Immediate Release

After a long bout of trying to live up to her potential, local author, Maureen O'Crean can breathe a sign of relief. The co-author of I Am Diva, Every Woman's Guide to Outrageous Living (Grand Central Publishing 2003) has published a new work, The Daily Diva Word The Daily Diva Word, Vol 1, Little Ditties to Life Your Spirit on sale October 1st.

Oh yes, I'm proud of my little book and hope it will bring much happiness to those lucky enough to get it, but that's not what redeemed me from the weight of my brunette life and Harvard education. Oh, yeah, and that weighty MBA, and my job, etc. You get the drift, in fact you know exactly what I mean. You have your own potential weighing you down.

My relief came when I focused on one thing, being happy. Happiness is a very elusive quality. We usually make the mistake of thinking that making us happy is someone else's job, like our spouses, lovers, significant others, parents (who failed miserably). Truth is, no one can make us happy but ourselves.
After all, who is an expert on you better than you?

Starting on September 1st, I'm going to lead us on an excursion into Happiness. Every day for 30 days, leading up to our Happiness parties (you can join the fun), I'll be sharing the tools I'm using to creating and focusing on being happy. Don't worry, it's fun and free.

I'll be posting my Daily Doings here and hope that you will post your ideas in the comments box. Best of all there will be games and prizes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  And I'll be introducing you to some great people, ideas and sources along the way.

Our first game is Find The Diva. In fact this is my favorite game where we play hide and seek on the internet. I'll be spreading words of wisdom and if you are the first to match the clues and reveal where you found me on the internet come back here and log in your results in the comments box, I'll send you a fabulous little gift. Now if you google me, you'll find lots of info, but don't be mislead. It takes a little while to populate the search engines. You'll find specifics here each day until my first set of gifts run out.

Now to get you excited, here are the first gifts to be given away . Your assignment  is to come back tomorrow and  get the clues to begin your search.  It will be fun, informative and easy for you to play.  One of these  delightful pillows will be awarded each day until they are all gone.

An easy way to get updates is to sign up for our rss feed with

Feedburner. Here is our feedburner address, they notify you when a new clue has been posted. You can register by email to receive notices of new postings or by RSS feed.  Go to the top of the page and to the left. Welcome aboard!
